The spatial thread textile installation Apocalypse was originally presented in the church of John the Baptist in Hum near Ormož, which, in addition to the author's work Genesis, was also the inspiration for the work. Its refined geometric character of thread intertwining around the apparent torus represents the invisible threads with which we humans are connected in life and become aware of them only when we feel the distress or joy of loved ones, as this tightens or loosens our bond with them. The iron circle represents the orbit of life caught in the threads of eternity.
Monika Ivanuša (1996, Ptuj, Slovenia) graduated in 2019 with the diploma thesis Sacral Space and Textile Art at the Faculty of Natural Sciences and Engineering in Ljubljana, Department of Textile and Clothing Design. From the cradle she has been accompanied by the Christian life, which is reflected in her work. She prefers to create with wood, textiles and metal. She is currently pursuing a master’s degree.
